Last weekend we kicked off November and took another step into the holiday season with the launch of our series “Ancestry.Christ.” With Thanksgiving meals and Christmas mornings over the horizon, many of us will be spending time with our family, whether it’s just our branch or a huge piece of the extended family tree. Every family tree has a story – and Jesus’ family tree is no different! Last weekend we began a deep look into stories within Jesus’ family tree in Matthew 1, and what these stories might teach us about following Christ within our own family. This week we are looking at David – the stellar king, dominant warrior, and downright passive father. What lessons can we learn from his life and the lives of his sons that we can apply to our own families and our own lives?
